The Brooklands Double Twelve Driving Tests took place in the sunshine on Sunday, an ever popular element of the Double Twelve saw 69 Entrants negotiated the twists and turns of the 8 fantastically assembled Tests. The best score for the day came from Paul Compton in his 1934 Wolseley Aerees Special.

As well as the main competitions, the Test Hill Challenge also took place, which saw everything from motorcycles to giant pre-war racing cars tackling the punishing 352ft (107m) slope.

The traditional Brooklands Double Twelve Concours took place over the two days with 30 Entrants presenting their delightful polished machinery to the Judges. Congratulations to William Pembroke in the ex Raymond Mays 1932 Invicta who took the overall Concours accolades.
